00:00.870 --> 00:01.490
Hi there.

00:02.040 --> 00:07.920
This position is actually from a game of Magnus Carlsen on current world chess champion and epaulette

00:08.010 --> 00:10.870
mate Patton nearby here.

00:11.490 --> 00:13.800
Can you guess what movement this place first?

00:13.980 --> 00:15.810
If I give you five seconds pause video.

00:20.740 --> 00:32.710
OK, he actually plays Queen, a five track and now in this position, Black didn't want to be subjected

00:33.400 --> 00:36.470
to further checks, say, on King seven.

00:36.700 --> 00:37.780
There are further checks.

00:39.310 --> 00:44.980
One does have to be careful because blacks, only one for back from eight to the black robe went to

00:44.980 --> 00:45.700
have sex.

00:46.750 --> 00:52.870
And we have here a configuration which is like kind of a metal.

00:53.650 --> 00:59.440
If you look at those medals, those military medals, it's like an epaulette pattern and they aren't

00:59.440 --> 01:00.250
taking out.

01:00.250 --> 01:04.180
Unfortunately, the medal on this occasion has a bit of a downside.

01:04.180 --> 01:08.110
It's taking out the king's escape squares on either side.

01:08.600 --> 01:11.290
And if you don't, we've also taken out these ASCAME Square.

01:11.300 --> 01:17.020
So we should be at this point, kind of excited when you see in the game that you've taken out lots

01:17.020 --> 01:17.770
of escape squares.

01:17.770 --> 01:22.750
You're really looking for that kind of check the cherry on top, basically.

01:23.440 --> 01:27.700
So can you see I hope you can spot it if I give you five cents for the video.

01:30.360 --> 01:39.510
OK, it's Queen seven, and it's a brutal Chameides epaulet male pattern, so black never got a chance

01:39.900 --> 01:41.400
for Queene one Samiti.

01:42.240 --> 01:48.750
So this mating pattern, maybe you know your material down your own hands, but sometimes there's a

01:48.750 --> 01:52.260
positive aspects of the opponent having extra material.

01:52.560 --> 01:55.060
Is that extra material taking up escape squares?

01:56.040 --> 01:57.680
Yeah, there's always a downside.

01:57.700 --> 02:04.010
Try and look for the downsides of the opponent's position, especially when they're the opponent.

02:04.020 --> 02:05.700
Can Lack's escape squares?

02:06.510 --> 02:09.950
There's all sorts of weird and wonderful mates that can rise of the chessboard.

02:10.500 --> 02:13.410
You don't have to they have to be mentally listing all of them.

02:13.770 --> 02:19.080
You can just be aware of these make patterns and hopefully.

02:20.130 --> 02:24.040
You can see them in the skies more and more in your positions.

02:24.300 --> 02:25.920
OK, that's a much.
